![Page 3: Assignment 8: Narrative theory](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022080213/559ca1571a28ab363f8b47fe/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Todorov suggested there are 5 stages of narrative
The first stage is the equilibrium.
The movie I have choose is the hunger games. In the hunger games it starts off normal as there who is just hunting leading her every day life catching food.
There is no conflict at the beginning everything is pretty much normal.

The second stage would be the disequilibrium
• Some sort of conflict/disruption would begin in relation to the hunger games the conflict begins when the event of the reaping began.
• Catness (the main character) sister got chosen to do enter the hunger games.
In this scene Prim discovers that Catness will be entering the hunger games

The recognition of disequilibrium
Catness decided to go and do it herself which caused conflict, because Catness did not want her little sister to die.
The fight to stay alive in the hunger games, as people were killing other people.
Another one would be when Rue died which caused moral panic (a division in society) in & out of the hunger games.
Rue is in the tree.
Catness is hunting

The attempt to repair the disequilibrium
• Catness tried to fight for her life in order to win the hunger games and the return to her family.
• Catness get Peter medicine for his cuts and bruises in order to make him better for them to win.
• Catness gives peter poisonous berries in order to kill the both of them.

The new equilibrium
• The new equilibrium would be when a resolution is made and all the conflict has ended.
• In relation to the hunger games it would have been when Catness Won with Peter.
• Catness got to go and return home to her family in one piece.
Catness won the hunger games
